ATTACHMENT FOR LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 324,933, dated August25, 1885.

Application filed May 22, 1885.

T0 CLZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FERDINAND GoLDsMrrir, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Saginaw, in the county of Saginaw and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and use fnl Improvements inAttachments for Lamps, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention has relation to improvements in attachments for lamps;and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, aswill be hereinafter set forth.

The annexed drawings, to which reference is made, fully illustrate myinvention, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my device.Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of one of the standards and part ofthe base A, and Figs. 1) and are detail views. Fig. is a front view ofmy device.

teferring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the baseof the device, which is designed to receive the lamp, and is providedwith a vertical flange, a, to the outs'.de of which is a receptacle, I),for matches, having a lid, 0, for covering the receptacle. Arising fromthe base are standards 0, which are slotted at f, and are also providedwith inwardlyprojecting pins or lugs g, having the head 11, for apurpose hereinafter set forth.

l3 indicates a shade or reflector, which is provided with a centralopening, (0, provided with the flange it, having perforations z, andhaving pivoted thereto a plate, I), which is designed to cover theopening when desired.

ltemovabl y secu red to the shade or reflector are depending spring-armsc, which are slot ted at d, the extreme ends 0 of which are forked toengage the pins orlugs on the standards, and the ends 1' of which arebent in a horizontal position, to engage bearings j on the under side ofthe shade, into which they are sprung by the elasticity of the arm 0. Athumb-screw, (l, is passed. horizontally through the slots in theslandardsaml depend- (No model.)

ing arms, whereby the latter may be held firmly together.

It will be observed from the above description and by reference to theannexed drawings that my device serves as a shade, by ad justing theupper portion to any desired angle and binding it in position by thethumb screws, and also as a reflector; and when it is desired to heatwater, &c.for instance, in sickroo1nthe pivoted plate is turned to oneside of the openings in the shade; the depending arms arranged in avertical position, the reflector thereby being horizontal, a vesselcontaining the food or water to be heated can be placed on the top ofthe shade, over the opening and directly over the lamp-flame. At thesame time the forked ends of the arms engage the pins. The thumb-screwsmade tight cause the standards and arms to remain rigid with oneanother, and it is durable, easily manipulated, and cheap tomanufacture.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secu re byLetters Patent, 1s-

1. The base provided with the slotted standards and pins, and the shadehaving depend ing arms provided with slotted and forked ends to engagesaid pins, and provided with the thumbscrews passing through said slots,as and for the purposes set forth.

'2. The attachment described for lamps, consisting of the shade 13,having the central opening,a, and coverb, and provided with thebearingsj, the standards having the springarms to engage said bearings,and provided wi h the slot d and forked end (1', the base A, providedwith the slotted arm 0 and lug-g, and the ihumbserews C, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.

ln testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.
